The common inspection framework Ofsted inspection

Ofsted - our legal responsibilities Raising standards, improving lives Encouraging the services we inspect and regulate: to improve to be user-focused to be efficient and effective. Ofsted inspection

Principles of inspection reform Inspect the right things in the right way through a standardised inspection framework Provide comparable and accurate information for parents, carers, learners and employers to inform their choices Deliver timely inspections where there are signs of decline or improvement Have a proportionate approach to inspections Ensure rigorous quality of all inspections Ofsted inspection

Understanding the changes Ofsted inspection

The common inspection framework Inspectors make four key judgements for all the education remits: Effectiveness of leadership and management Quality of teaching, learning and assessment Personal development, behaviour and welfare Outcomes for children and learners And will state clearly whether safeguarding is effective. Ofsted inspection

The common inspection framework The common inspection framework (CIF) provides greater clarity, coherence and comparability for learners, parents and employers. Judgements are comparable across all Ofsted reports for: early years provision 16 to 19 study programmes In FE and skills inspections, inspectors report on types of provision – including apprenticeships, adult learning and learners with high needs Ofsted inspection

Full inspection judgements – schools (section 5) Inspectors make four key judgements: Effectiveness of leadership and management Quality of teaching, learning and assessment Personal development, behaviour and welfare Outcomes for children and learners. Where relevant, inspectors also make judgements about: the effectiveness of the early years provision the effectiveness of 16 to 19 study programmes And state clearly whether safeguarding is effective. Ofsted inspection

Short inspection judgements (section 8) Short inspections for good school and academies – approximately every three years, for one day. Two judgements only: Is the school still good? Is safeguarding effective? Greater professional dialogue during the inspection and regular reporting to parents and pupils. Ofsted inspection

Short inspections Is the school/provider continuing to be good? Is safeguarding effective? Yes Yes Insufficient evidence or concerns about effectiveness/ safeguarding School/provider remains good School/provider may be outstanding HMI informs school/provider that insufficient evidence has been gathered or concerns exist. Explains that a full inspection will follow shortly. The school/provider’s performance is being sustained. It continues to provide a good quality of education for pupils/learners. Any weaknesses are known by leaders and governors, and are being tackled – proven capacity. Is it likely that the school/provider might be judged outstanding in a full inspection?

Evidence for an inspection is drawn from: discussion with school leaders, staff, pupils and parents the school’s own self-evaluation, NOT SEF! national test, exam and attendance data the school’s own assessment information…current progress direct observation of practice during inspection surveys of parents, staff and pupils other documentary material, e.g. on website Ofsted inspection
